Аннотация:Key words: ontogeny, biological age, ontogenetic state, vitality level, life form.
The concept of the discrete ontogenesis of plants, by the first, was made by T. A. Pabothov (1950). Detailed ontogenetic researches of tree plants had begun since 1970th. At present, the most tree species ontogeny have been described in the East-European forests. Development of all plants has the universal periods that we divide into the structural-functional stages. The last ones were named "ontogenetic stages". The ontogenetic stages mark biological age of plants. Individuals of different species show quite similar enlistment of ontogenetic stages. Each stage in marked by specific growth and morphological characteristics. The plants of the each ontogenetic stage can be distinguished by vitality level. Each vitality level is characterized by specific signs. The vitality of plants may be changed many times during ontogeny. The plants of different life forms and type of propagation have specific traits of ontogeny. The species show high individuality of ontogenetic behavior; it is clear especially in the heterogeneous natural forest community. These results we take into account as a basis for forecast of behavior of species and their groups in permanent changing mosaic environment of natural community.
